GFSB meet with the Chief Minister, Minister Isola and Minister Daryanani
The GFSB board would like to inform members that we were invited to a lunch meeting with the Chief Minister, Minister Isola and Minister Daryanani on Wednesday.
The meeting was informative and the Chief Minister was very interested in hearing what the business community had to say on moving forward after BREXIT. There was a lot of discussions on a number of possible situations and we hope to have a Breakfast club soon on this to better inform you all and get your feedback.
Some of the other issues which were also discussed included issues like the Gibraltar Nurturing Scheme, vacancy fees, working from home, the Main St BID and obviously the Coronavirus.
One issue that the Chief Minister assured the board of was that the Vacancy Fees would be done away with completely once the e-Gov is up and running. Which Minister Isola said for the Employment Dept should be in the next few months.
Overall we believe we were able to represent a lot of our members’ issues and concerns and will continue to do so in any meetings we are involved with.

Could Gibraltar be missing a golden opportunity? GFSB Board Director Brian Ross believes the answer is yes. In this thought-provoking opinion piece, he argues that Gibraltar should consider a residency route for financially self-sufficient individuals, attracting experienced people with the wealth, expertise and international networks to strengthen our economy. Could this be the next step in keeping Gibraltar competitive?

Growing Beyond the Owner
For many SMEs, the success of the business has been built on the expertise, relationships and commitment of its owner. This entrepreneurial approach has been instrumental in the growth of many of Gibraltar's successful businesses. However, as organisations develop, dependence on a single individual can become a strategic risk.
